Tennessee Free Fishing Day

June 6, 2026

Enjoy a day on the water during Tennessee’s annual Free Fishing Day, when anglers of all ages can fish without a license in public waters across the state.

Held each year on the Saturday of the first full week in June, this special event allows both Tennessee residents and non-residents to fish for free in Tennessee’s public waters, agency-owned and operated lakes, and Tennessee State Parks.

Whether you’re an experienced angler or trying fishing for the very first time, Free Fishing Day is the perfect opportunity to explore Tennessee’s lakes, rivers, and streams while enjoying the outdoors with family and friends.

Participants are encouraged to bring their fishing gear, spend time in nature, and take advantage of this statewide celebration of outdoor recreation and conservation.
